Low risk people still carry the virus, and then pass it along to higher risk people.

I'm well aware of that, I'm just speaking in a world where we actually were able to fully quarantine off everyone in "at risk" groups would we even be able to handle the volume that would come from the low risk groups?

The doctor does not have these concerns

His job is to provide steady, unwavering leadership... leadership that can be trusted. I don’t care if it’s bad news, but I do want to know if his decisions are rooted in fact and not feel... particularly when confronting a topic he obviously knows little about.

I do not know what the doctor’s concerns are, but I have to imagine he understands the importance of maintaining his position on the team.

It would be a whole lot easier to provide leadership that can be trusted if the left hadn't been engaging for 4 years now in a gross exaggeration campaign.... and still doing so. Your side quite literally challenges every word that comes out of his mouth... often simply LOOKING for some way to turn 'what he actually said' into something that he didn't, that isn't true. example: 'the virus is a hoax' claim.

I think The doc said it best himself.
“The President was trying to bring hope to the people. I think there’s this issue of [the media] trying to separate the two of us. There isn’t fundamentally a difference there.”

So you and your ilk are out there saying there IS a fundamental difference, and the guy whose opinion you want respected is saying there isn't. If you read more of what he's said, he's clearly said that he wishes Trump hadn't said some of the things the way he's said them... so the whole 'he's trying to keep his job' line is just more partisan bull

This is the sort of question that requires a million assumptions... and where because we're dealing with large numbers, minor differences (like 0.4% vs 0.8%) can take us from 'no problem' to 'global killer'.

60mm symptomatic people were infected in 2009... meaning they required at least some medical resources. 275,000 were hospitalized. IMO, there wasn't ENOUGH done to stop the spread... the CDC initially said, if anyone at a school tests positive, shut it for two weeks.... they then rescinded that.... and kids were infected. FOr Covid, schools are ALL closed, yet kids aren't really impacted.

Flu, even COVID-19 is not a big deal for most people. The low risk groups you're speaking of wouldn't need a lot of intense medical care.... and for the high risk groups, they would be quarantined/sequestered and thus those that didn't have it, not need as much care as if they weren't.

i.e. simple example, you close all nursing homes and assisted living to visitors. If they don't already have the virus there, they aren't likely to get it. No additional staff or care really needed.

That would require testing everyone.

????

You don't need to test anyone to know if they are in an 'at risk' group so as to quarantine them.

ETA: though you'd be smart to test those you are quarantining... that's not remotely 'everyone'.

Where was Fauchi during Barry’s pandemic? Inquiring minds want to know. Maybe one of our resident geniuses can let us know the facts so we can separate out legitimate criticism and TDS.

https://www.vox.com/2020/3/23/21190033/c...ths-by-age

According to this for the age range I fall in on the CDC numbers 20-44 14.3% require hospitalization, 2% in the ICU, and a death rate of .1%. For 45-54 the hospitalization rate is 21.2%, 5.4% in the ICU, and a death rate of .5%. Those death rates aren't really a problem, but do we have the hospital and ICU capacity to handle those % in the low risk of death groups that will require it if we send everyone back to work? If yes that's great. If not then those death rates even for low risk groups will be much higher as doctors have to choose essentially who lives and who dies. That can't be allowed to happen.

The problem with that is that 100% have or may have a hidden underlining condition. CNN did interviewed a 20 some year young lady who came down with COVID-19 and was hospitalized with it when she was healthy with no underlining conditions. She was one of those that like the rest of the college age kids, went to the beaches and all that spreading the virus. Sending people back to work that are healthy like this young lady is not the great idea at all. Just one person with the virus could get other people at the workplace infected where some get sick like her or to bring the virus home to get someone else in the family sick like a baby with a heart conditions. That is why we can't get people back to work next week or next month right now. A lot of states are now seeing double digits of people tested positive.

Neutral implies 50/50 coverage... which then requires a quota of favorable to unfavorable. The idea of neutrality is asinine. They overriding question is if the story is factual and true. The NY Yankees could have a crappy season but then in order to achieve “neutral” status, the opinion columnists would then need to write 50% positive fluff. Sorry, ain’t gonna happen.

I don’t keep track of favorable and unfavorable columns about Trump in the Times, but I do know conservatives squeal like pigs whenever one gets penned. It’s almost as if you need to retreat back to your safe spaces and can’t handle life outside the bubble of favorable news.

Ironically, two of the 3 links deriding the Times come from sites not exactly neutral to Democrats or the MSM...

I'm not a conservative. I'm not a liberal. I don't take sides. But I can tell you, you were touting the NY Times as if it plays things down the middle, fairly.

As someone who doesn't pull for a side, I can tell you, they are far slanted to being anti-Trump. You can arrange words however makes you happy. It doesn't change that reality.
